It was winter break. Everything was going well, perfect even. Until one night.
"Mom! Listen to me!" I kept on saying. She wouldn't listen, she kept on blabbering hysterically.
I sighed, keeping my stare on the living room's floor. "Calm down!"
"I won't give you permission."
Groaning loudly on the phone, I tried again. "Mom, I'll stay there just for 2 days."
We'll stay there for 2 days. I looked at Uruha who was facing his back at me.
"No. Eri." I heard finality in her voice that caught me off guard.
My mom always let me do the things I want, but it was different this time.
"I'll be okay..." I almost whined at her.
My mother was panicking over my wanting to go to Osaka for the winter break since I didn't want to stay here. I told Uruha that I would like to see some other places other than Tokyo and Tokyo and Tokyo. He told me I should go and visit Osaka or Kyoto. Just a few days of tour. Away from here.
"My decision is final. You'll not go there. End of discussion."
A sigh escaped my lips before I hang up.
What's with her?
"Any luck?"
My guardian asked me while he searched for something in the fridge.
"Naa... I don't know why she won't let me go."
I pulled a chair and sat down, breathing out heavily.
Uruha walked back to the kitchen's counter with a ball of green leaf on his hand.
"I don't understand..." I continued. "This is a first."
He took a chopping board and a knife from the drawer and chopped the ball to half. "Maybe it's better if we just stay here."
"But I want to see Osaka and Kyoto!" I whined. I literally whined at him.
He chuckled. The sound did something with my heart. "Some other time?"
"NO!" I frowned at his head. "I haven't been away from this cage called Tokyo. I want to see the outside world."
"You'll see fewer buildings." Uruha looked back at me, winked then proceeded to be a chef.
The winking did something too with my stomach and cheeks. There were butterflies playing on my stomach and I was very sure that my cheeks' color were like a ripen strawberry.
"I want to visit Kyoto." I stated and locked my arms in front of my chest like a stubborn child.
He laughed. "Why don't you come here and help me, I might bring you to Osaka tonight after we cook."
I stood up, knocking the chair back. "REALLY?" I grinned.
Uruha grinned back and nodded. "Yes."
Happily, I righted the chair before I walked to him and snatched everything in his hands.
I took the chopping board and the leafy edible thing along the knife with me to the dining table and started to chop.
"How are you gonna take me there anyways?" I was hoping he'd answer with the word fly. And he did.
"Hmm... Maybe we'll take the bullet train or fly by plane."
